SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 27 The Astronomy, Space and Science News Podcast Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact Risk Reduced, Insights into Mars' Core, and NASA's Lunar Mission Update In this episode of SpaceTime, we bring you encouraging news about asteroid 2024 YR4, with new observations indicating that the chances of it impacting Earth have plummeted to just 0.001%. Initially flagged as a potential threat, this asteroid has been closely monitored, and the latest data from the Very Large Telescope has allowed astronomers to refine its orbit and rule out any collision risk for 2032. Exploring the Martian Core We also delve into a fascinating new study regarding the composition of Mars' core. Research suggests that while it may contain a liquid outer core, there could also be a solid inner core composed of iron and sulfur. This breakthrough could reshape our understanding of the Red Planet's geophysical properties and the role of lighter elements in its core. NASA's Latest Lunar Mission Additionally, we provide an update on NASA's latest lunar mission, which has successfully launched and is heading towards the Moon's south pole. The mission features the Intuitive Machines IM2 spacecraft, equipped with the Athena lunar lander and the Lunar Trailblazer orbiter, both designed to conduct groundbreaking research and resource utilization studies on the lunar surface. 00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 27 for broadcast on 3 March 2025 00:49 Update on asteroid 2024 YR4 impact probability 06:30 Importance of new observations from the Very Large Telescope 12:15 Insights into the Martian core composition 18:00 Research on solid inner core possibilities 22:45 Overview of NASA's lunar IM2 mission 27:00 Archaeological discovery of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb 30:15 Discussion on the cultural significance of the Skinwalker Ranch series www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com/) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com/) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn (https://www.bitesz.com/nordvpn) .
